Her Second surgery was
an emergency Bi-directional Glenn with Tricuspid Valvuloplasty" which failed.
She then had a third and forth surgery to attempt successful revision of the
Glenn and Valvuloplasty. Fortunately they were very successful. http://m.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-glenn-shunt.htm

Now it is time for the
fifth and, hopefully, final Open Heart Surgery for Sydney: the "Fontan"
palliation. http://pediatricct.surgery.ucsf.edu/conditions--procedures/fontan-operation.aspx
It is scheduled to
take place in less than two months. Heather has been preparing for this for
three years, purchasing extra insurance that would pay for all of her basic
living expenses wile she is with Sydney in the hospital. Unfortunately, she has
recently found out that the insurance that she was told would cover her
expenses will not-because Sydney's condition is Pre-existing.

Heather will be away
from her job, and home without income with Sydney for what could be at least 4
to 6 weeks. Heather needs everyone's support in order to pay her expenses: rent,
insurance, utilities, food and hotel costs, while she is away from her job
caring for Sydney.
I am asking everyone
to please help me raise the funds that it will take to support a good friend in
need. All donations are appreciated - large or small.

Sydney and Heather are doing wonderful. Thanks to all your support.
I want to thank everyone personally for helping my very dear friend and her darling little girl Sydney out during there hospital stay.
Sydney was released one week after surgery and was able to go home a week later.
She is doing remarkably well.

Heather received the best Valetines gift of all time. Sydney's discharge papers. Yep, Open Heart Surgery on Thursday, discharged the following Friday.
Just a few more days in Houston for clinicall follow up and they will be back on the road for home.
Thank you everyone for your support and continued prayes.

Heather~
You are Sydney's FIERCEST advocate. I am always in awe of how you manage to pull yourself together in tough times to fight for her. A large portion of this money came from a fellow Army wife who donated it so that I could fulfill my own dream of going to volunteer abroad. Now I am passing it on to you with the very same spirit of love and support that she showed when she shared it with me. I love ya, woman!
